Passed Over His Veto.

AN ACT OF JUSTICE TO A MAINE SOLDIER.
In the Senate Feb. % Mr.. Frye made an af-
fecting appeal to take up and consider a mes
sage from the President vetong Il bill that
would allow arrears of pension to Thomas $.
Hopkins, Maine Volunteers. He described the
case as renarkab exceptional one. There
were, he said, living on Il farm in Maine in 1861
two boys, one Ii years of age, the other 20.
The elder had just been married. The war
broke out Full of the inspiration of patriot
ism, there was controversy between them as
to which should enlist. Finally it was decided
that the youngest boy should start first. lie
enlisted. In two months the elder boy enlisted
and was killed. The younger went to the front
and renamed there 16 months. Then he was
stricken with nervous disease and was trans
ferred to the Invalid Corps, in which he re-
manned till the close of the war. lie had no
physical strength to work Oh the farm and he
returned to Washington. where he was APP
pointed clerk in the Treasury Department..
lie was there SIX years, was twice promot-
ed, and was offered the Chief Ccrkship at
S2.25O year. But in the meantime he had
studied law and had passed his examination.
and he declined the prefcrment. resigned his
place in the Treasury and commenced the prac-
tice of the law. in which he built up practice
worth from $1,000 to $1,000 year He was
magnificent specimen of man, six feet high,
handsome in person and with well cultivated
mind. Once in Il while he was stricken with
his o!u ulSeaSc Eafly Ill 1910, IN the streets OF
Washington, he was stricken with it, was car
ried home, and for nine years never had stood
on his feet. These had been nine years of ter
rible, fearful pain, night and day. For two
years he could not lift silver spoon. One
night about two months ago he was carried on
a reclining chair into his (Mr. Frye's) room
and there he told his story. Congress passed
bill opening the door to him to apply for ar
rearages, and that bill the President vetoed,
but because he had not the information which
he (Mr. Frye now gave the Senate the Presi-
dent said that this was a dangerous door to
open; but during the whole two years that it
was open under the law this man had not the
power to avail himself of it.
After some further statements, including one
by Mr.. COckrell to the effect that the facts if
| made known to the Pension Bureau would have
justified an allowance of the arrears of pension,
| and that if they had been brought to the atten-
| tion of the President he would not have vetoed
the bill, the bill was passed over the Presidents
veto by vote of % to 6, the six nays being
